Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ruecker, Stan; Given, Lisa M.; Sadler, Elizabeth; Ruskin, Andrea; Simpson, Heather – Visible Language, 2007
This paper examines inclusive design delivery through interface design, with a particular focus on access to healthcare resources for seniors. The goal of the project was to examine how seniors are able to access drug information using two different online systems. In the existing retrieval system, pills are identified using a standard search…

An Information Retrieval System for Reusable Software.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chang, Yuk Fung; Eastman, Caroline M. – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Describes the design of a classification scheme for reusable software and the implementation of an information retrieval system for reusable software using the SMART system. Highlights include a review of other systems for reusable software; system design; reorganization of software documentation; and system testing, including recall and…

Protein Annotators' Assistant: A Novel Application of Information Retrieval Techniques.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wise, Michael J. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Protein Annotators' Assistant (PAA) is a software system which assists protein annotators in assigning functions to newly sequenced proteins. PAA employs a number of information retrieval techniques in a novel setting and is thus related to text categorization, where multiple categories may be suggested, except that in this case none of the…

Exemplary Documents: A Foundation for Information Retrieval Design.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Blair, David C.; Kimbrough, Steven O. – Information Processing & Management, 2002
Suggests an alternative document representation method based on "exemplary documents," those that describe or exhibit the intellectual structure of a particular field of interest. Exemplary documents provide both an indexing vocabulary for that area and a narrative context in which the indexing terms have a clearer meaning. It is much…

Cognitive Process as a Basis for Intelligent Retrieval Systems Design.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chen, Hsinchun; Dhar, Vasant – Information Processing and Management, 1991
Two studies of the cognitive processes involved in online document-based information retrieval were conducted. These studies led to the development of five computational models of online document retrieval which were incorporated into the design of an "intelligent" document-based retrieval system. Both the system and the broader implications of…

Search Interface Design Using Faceted Indexing for Web Resources.
Devadason, Francis; Intaraksa, Neelawat; Patamawongjariya, Pornprapa; Desai, Kavita – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Describes an experimental system designed to organize and provide access to Web documents using a faceted pre-coordinate indexing system based on the Deep Structure Indexing System (DSIS) derived from POPSI (Postulate based Permuted Subject Indexing) of Bhattacharyya, and the facet analysis and chain indexing system of Ranganathan.
